Zabbuli 85

1 Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Batabani ba Koola. Ensi yo ogikoledde ebyekisa Ayi Mukama; Yakobo omuddizza ebibye.

For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.

2 Abantu bo obasonyiye ebyonoono byabwe, n’ebibi byabwe byonna n’obibikkako.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. (Selah)

3 Ekiruyi kyo kyonna okirese, n’oleka n’obusungu bwo obubuubuuka.

Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.

4 Tukomyewo gy’oli, Ayi Katonda w’obulokozi bwaffe, oleke okutusunguwalira.

Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.

5 Onootusunguwaliranga emirembe gyonna? Onootunyiigiranga emirembe n’emirembe?

Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?

6 Tolituzaamu ndasi, abantu bo basanyukirenga mu ggwe?

Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?

7 Tulage okwagala kwo okutaggwaawo Ayi Katonda, era otuwe obulokozi bwo.

Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.

8 Nnaawulirizanga Mukama Katonda by’agamba; asuubiza abantu be, be batukuvu be, okubawa emirembe; naye tebaddayo mu byonoono byabwe.

I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

9 Ddala ddala obulokozi bwe busemberera abo abamutya, ensi yaffe n’eryoka ejjula ekitiibwa kye.

Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.

10 Okwagala n’obwesigwa bisisinkanye; obutuukirivu n’emirembe binywegeraganye.

Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

11 Obwesigwa bulose mu nsi, n’obutukuvu ne butunuulira ensi nga businzira mu ggulu.

Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

12 Ddala ddala Katonda anaatuwanga ebirungi, n’ensi yaffe eneebalanga ebibala bingi.

Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.

13 Obutuukirivu bunaamukulemberanga, era bunaateekateekanga ekkubo mw’anaayitanga.

Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
